Annotated Bibliography

Gefland, Jonathan I, ed. “An Overview of Creatine Supplements.” WebMD. N.p., 6 Mar. 2010. Web. 29 Nov. 2010. . Web MD’s article on creatine introduces creatine, and tells the reader what creatine is, its uses in and out of weightlifting, and the groups of people that use it. The article goes further into talking about the potential dangers of it’s use and how doctors don’t know the long term effects on the body. Because of this the article starts to sway towards the con side towards the end of the article. This article will help me introduce creatine in my paper on a basic level and the uses it has. I also plan on using article to go against my opinion of creatine in my paper and disprove using other sources.

Greenhaff, P. L., et al. “Effect of oral creatine supplementation on skeletal muscle phosphocreatine resynthesis.” AJP - Endocrinology and Metabolism (Dec. 1993): E 725-730. Google Scholar. Web. 3 Dec. 2010. . This article published by numerous scientists discusses a scientific study using creatine. In this study they had 8 subjects were first tested for levels of total creatine, which included free creatine and phosphocreatine, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and lactate. These levels were tested as well as after voluntary contraction, without creatine supplementation. Then the subjects were instructed to take creatine monohydrate in quantities of about 20 grams (four doses of five grams) a day for five days. They were then tested for the same values and the results were then recorded and compared. I plan on using this article (though it is dated 1993) in my paper to prove that creatine in fact does work for people who are sensitive to it’s supplementation. The article is relevant to today’s weightlifters, who use creatine, due to the still booming popularity of creatine monohydrate use.

Lee Lerner, Ed K, and Brenda Wilmoth Lerner. “Creatine Supplementation.” World of Sports Science. Vol. 1. 2007. 120-121. Gale Virtual Reference Library. Web. 3 Dec. 2010. . “Creatine Supplementation” goes into detail of specifically how creatine benefits the user and through what types of exercise. It also discusses it’s history and how it is legal worldwide through the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). Later in the text it explains how it is naturally occurring in the body and the effects are different from any other substance so it cannot be compared to anything illegal. Finally, the article interprets the previous studies done and states that creatine is only beneficial for anaerobic (little oxygen) exercise through restoring phosphocreatine, and in turn ATP, levels in the muscle in lack of oxygen (which conquers with “Effect of oral creatine supplementation on skeletal muscle phosphocreatine resynthesis.”). These anaerobic exercises are short explosive exercises, such as weightlifting and therefore creatine is not beneficial for endurance athletes. This article will help my paper to give partial history of creatine and its success. I will use some key facts in this article to better back the point of my paper as well as a second reputable source that had similar results as the studies done in 1993.

Research Paper

Two topics I would like to propose for the topic of my next paper are: The use of Creatine in weightlifting and also The storage of Fat within the body and how to change your physique. I am very interested in both of these topics perhaps due to my liking of weightlifting as well as my high amounts of physical activity. Also obesity is becoming a problem in our society and I would like to see how feasible it is for someone to change their body fat percentage as well as what factors go into it.

Corrected Paragraph (Doctors Note)

Cancer and AIDS patients in today’s society have learned to cope with their sometimes fatal disease with the use of a simple plant, Marijuana, scientifically known as Cannabis Sativa. The main active component in this plant, THC or “delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol” (http://www.cancer.org/Treatment/TreatmentsandSideEffects/ComplementaryandAlternativeMedicine/HerbsVitaminsandMinerals/Marijuana) is “is promoted to relieve pain, control nausea and vomiting, and stimulate appetite in people with cancer and AIDS”, which is why many states have legalized it for medical use. In fact 13 states that have legalized medical-Marijuana, according to Legalizing Marijuana, found on CQ researcher. The reason why this bud of a flower has so many affects is because it is classified as, and contains many, cannabinoids (working on the cannabinoid receptors in the brain that control things such as appetite, pain, time perception, pleasure, and many more). (According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse) Medical patients aren’t the only people who would benefit from this plant legality, the entire nation would benefit. This is because the positives far outweigh the near-zero negatives with the legalization of this drug.

Corrections:

Cancer and AIDS patients in today’s society have learned to cope with their disease with the use of a simple plant, Marijuana, scientifically known as Cannabis Sativa.

Although medical patients receive great benefits from this plant they aren’t the only people who would benefit from this plant if it were legal. Surprisingly, the entire nation would benefit. This is because the positives greatly outweigh the near-zero negatives with the legalization of this drug. (have not made citations yet still working on paper)

Marijuana Legalization

http://library.cqpress.com/cqresearcher/document.php?id=cqresrre2009061200&type=hitlist&num=0

Marijuana being a huge controversial issue in our society today makes it easy for people to pull information off of the internet to read. Some are very reputable and some not as much. A great article I found is on CQ researcher online and has tons of key facts for and against the heated topic of marijuana usage in the United States.

This article is a great source of information. I say this because it covers a wide range of topics and ideas relating to only this issue. For instance, the article talks about how many state have legal medicinal marijuana (which I found to be 13, Maine, Vermont, Maryland, New Mexico, Colorado, Nevada, California, Oregon, Washington, Montana, Alaska, Hawaii, Michigan, and Rhode Island), as well as which states do not give punishments for first offenses with the drug (Maine, New York, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Ohio, Mississippi, California, and Alaska). Key facts in this article such as the revenue generated off of the tax on medicinal marijuana, as well as, the money that could be generated if it was taxed and legal everywhere.

When looking at the article it’s fairly plain to see that the arguments are slightly stilted towards pro-legalization, due to all of the positives that are listed throughout. The money that could be generated is brought up a couple times in the article which is what contributes to the pro side of the argument. But some points on the negative side are still brought up in the article, such as, how the drug has been illegal for many years, and how it may lead to other drugs.

After reading the article and using background knowledge I had prior to reading the article, the pro side of legalization seems fairly convincing due to the pluses outweighing the minute minuses that legalization would bring. Having the article bring up valid, positive points is what really backs up what the article seems it’s going for, and definitely makes it more convincing.

In regard to my paper, I believe this will be very useful in backing up my point of view as well. I will use key facts like the tax values, possible tender generated, and the number of people or percentage of the people that have tired the drug in our country. I will use this article for a great deal of my information, as there are many quotes, and tons of information I can use to back my point up in my paper. This article was definitely a great source of info and much of my paper will consist of these facts presented by the article.

Controversial Topics

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/07/us/politics/07abortion.html?_r=1&ref=abortion

This article is about abortion and the two sides of the argument. In this article specifically it is the Republicans VS the Democrats. I would have to side with the illegal side of abortion because I believe it is wrong and inhumane to abort fetus's. The only way I can find it partially correct is if a woman is raped, or other extenuating circumstances of that nature.

http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/subjects/s/same_sex_marriage/index.html

This article is about the union of two same sex people. As of now this issue is illegal due to the bible. As more and more people push for this to pass it becomes more and more controversial due to the greater amounts of people on both sides of the issue. My stance on this is fairly neutral. I am not 100% against the marriage of two same sex people due to my religion says it's wrong. I can also see the for side of this argument tho because this country is based on freedom and many people see this as a part of it. I can also see why people would want a marriage considering the benefits, e.g. tax reduction

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/15/health/policy/15health.html

Representatives of the US government are developing plans to raise taxes to bring our country out of debt or improve current plans. This specific plan is talking about increasing taxes on the upper class of our country. This is unfair in my opinion because for the most part people who are in "the upper class of our country" are there for a reason. This is because they worked hard and went through everything they had to to get to the point in their life in which they are right now. I believe that they should not be penalized because of their success and the tax should be spread evenly throughout the population

Resistance VS Gears

On the two main system platforms for playing action games, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360, there are two game series that have similar architecture. These games are Resistance: Fall of Man and Gears (PS3) of War (Xbox 360) and these series are structured in a very similar manner. Both start the player off as a new armed force fighter, fighting towards one main goal, human survival against an ancient race that is causing the downfall of human kind, with the final goal being to eliminate the opposing race.

Resistance follows a more “alien” themed path with a wide range of monsters, some with a high amount of intellect, arriving many years ago. Throughout the game the player must fight off many of these monsters with increasing power and better guns throughout the games. What sets Resistance aside from Gears is the main character battling off the infection of the race they are trying to defeat as well as the time period seemed to be set in the 60’s era.

In Gears case the game basically follows the same plot, except there is a second enemy in this series that appears and becomes a big piece of the game in parts 2 and 3. The characters in this game are also much more “hulking” and the enemies less resembling humans. A big piece of this game is its futuristic qualities, including: weapons, vehicles, and stage in which it is set.

AT&T vs All

Over about the past 20 years cell phones have developed into what we have now, basically a portable mini-computer. Since they have been around for this long there are several companies that now have a stake in this cell phone based world. Just a few major ones are: AT&T, Sprint (with Nextel), T-Mobile, and Verizon. Then there are just a few minor companies like: Boost, Cricket, and Metro PCS. Having so many carriers/ providers creates many choices for people to choose from. Since there are so many choices there is great controversy over what carrier for cell phones is best. The two top competitors being AT&T and Verizon, due to their wide range of coverage, are what most people chose. But some have skewed results based on the phone they want. Some people will then pick a carrier based on a phone that other carriers will not have which will cause companies to gain customers based on phones rather than coverage and reliability. Verizon and AT&T have a good balance of both types of phones and also have the best coverage.

When declaring who has the best coverage, it seems to be AT&T who “take home the prize”, over all other carriers. AT&T like all the other carriers (excluding Sprint who has a 4g network that’s “spotty”) has a 3g network that covers almost the entire nation, in fact they cover 97% of America, states the AT&T website and coverage map. But in order to use this network the person still needs to have a phone.
Every cell phone company has their own set of phone companies that produce for them. This gives many choices of phones to choose from and also helps people chose carriers, especially when choosing from the top two, Verizon and AT&T. This then leads to another subject that lead people to decide on, price.

Every company has their own set of prices for different types of plans. Usually the not-so-great coverage providers such as Sprint will have lower prices on their plans because they want to draw people towards their company. The better companies such as AT&T although having great coverage does not have unreasonably high prices and usually battles the other top competitors for lower prices on their plans. In turn, this relates to stability in their pricing, which AT&T seems to have fairly high stability in their pricing.

Over the years everything through AT&T has become cheaper and the trend still continues to show. This is shown by things such as texting rates decreasing, as well as internet rates slowly decreasing over the years.

One final thing that sets AT&T apart from the other companies is customer service. Being with the company for such a long time to them seems to make you become a part of their family and give you great customer service unlike the other cell phone companies that will put you on hold for several minutes. All my experiences as well as the people I talk to seem to give AT&T great responses in regard to customer service.

Investigative Outline

1. Opening Scene

I plan on opening up with a scene from the dorm about kids stuffed into one room. Then I will get into the atmosphere of the underage drinking in the dorms and show what is going on as well as what is being said.

2. Illustrative quote that will conclude your scene

“Pre-game is a must for parties, and it’s easiest just to do it here in our dorm.” Showing a girls standpoint but speaking for all other people.

3. Nut Graph: This is where you have to tell me what you are writing about, why it's interesting, and why I should care.

I am writing about underage drinking in the dorms. I am doing this due to its prevalence throughout the campus. I am also doing this because from the legality standpoint it is violating the students contract and also laws in the united states.

4. Background: Give your issue/subject context. Let me know how this issue started.

This repeating incident has occurred due to the atmosphere of being in college. Many students drink in college drink “According to a national survey on college drinking, more than 40 percent of today's college students engage in binge drinking. Twenty percent of students binge drink three or more times in a given two-week period. More than half of students who use alcohol said they drink to get drunk”

5. Supporting Information 1: quotes? data? anecdote? what is your point and how does it relate to the issue?

“Eight to 10 percent of the population in those freshman dorms is 21 years of age or older,”---The legality of the kids in the dorms is shown here. Most of the kids in the dorms are under 21 and it therefore illegal due to law.
“You like it?, I’m going to try to put this around a beer can this weekend so it looks like a Pepsi.”-The way kids get around it.

6. Supporting Information 2: quotes? data? anecdote? what is your point and how does it relate to the issue?

After hearing this I asked if he keeps alcohol in his room and he replied, “Is that even a question.”, he then pulled out a handle and 2 cases hidden in a storage container under his bed. This showed how many kids have alcohol concealed in their dorms.

7. Supporting Information 3: quotes? data? anecdote? what is your point and how does it relate to the issue?

Going to take a quote from residence life about the prevalence of it and what is done about it. Interview coming later in the week.

8. Conclusion: Wrap-up your story. What would you like your audience to consider as a result of reading this piece? What relevant future issue could you point to?

Although underage drinking is illegal nothing can really be done, more than what already is being done. In my mind as well as many others kids should be more qualified of knowing how to drink rather than not at all because it will always happen, especially at college campuses. So, being more knowledgeable will promote safety when participating in the illegal activities, since they cannot be stopped.

Underage Drinking

Next to Redifer Commons (South Halls) is a great place to stay especially being a freshman. Whether it be due to placement near the downtown area, being near the frats, being attached to the commons, or just because the dorms are much larger than the freshman dorms of East Halls. The overall security is also fairly high here, due to the placement I believe, as shown by residents not being able to enter without their card key even if the RA is at the door, at that specific time. Once you have entered the building and proceed up the stairs, you will pass the first and second floors painted with “girly” fixtures for the wall colors and immediately know where you are. If that is not enough these two floors usually smell like perfume and other flowery scents because of the various fragrances they like to spray. Sometimes these floors smell a bit different though, depending on the day and time of day/night. These floors can smell somewhat like rubbing alcohol, due to the girls famous hard liquor “pre-games”, and this causes a great deal of noise.
You can then continue up the stairs and find darker and more masculine colors found on the walls as well as a different scent, either the smell of a normal building or the masculine smell of teenage boys. These hallways’ smell can also change depending on the day and what time of day/night it is. Sometimes before going out the boys on these floors like to drink beer and/or liquor before going out but the beer seems to overpower any other scent if the dorm doors are opened. Although in the case of both of these floors drinking on certain occasions , the presence of alcohol in the building as a whole is not allowed due to the majority of people living in these dorms being under 21.
After knowing this rule and experiencing everything that goes on a couple times, I decided to do some investigating. So I decided to go around asking the people on different floors about the underage drinking going on. Although I received interviews no one wanted their name to be shared, either because they drink themselves or because they didn’t want to seem as if they were “ratting out” the other residents in the building. I then started to interview people within the confines of my building.
The first girl I interviewed about drinking in her dorm decided to let me in on one of her “secrets” and said, “ Although the RA’s can search our rooms they can never find out what are in our water bottles”. In the same interview she also said, “Pre-game is a must for parties, and it’s easiest just to do it here in our dorm.” I found this intriguing and decided to interview some of the males in my building. When going up to the third floor dorms I entered one of my friends room and found a Pepsi can with the top cut off, I then asked him why it was cut off. He then replied, “You like it?, I’m going to try to put this around a beer can this weekend so it looks like a Pepsi.” I assumed this was in case anyone walked in while he was drinking and I thought it was quite ingenious. After hearing this I asked if he keeps alcohol in his room and he replied, “Is that even a question.”, he then pulled out a handle and 2 cases hidden in a storage container under his bed.

Some facts I found include:

“Eight to 10 percent of the population in those freshman dorms is 21 years of age or older,”-Collegian
(talking about the ages in certain dorms)

“We also need to talk about raising the floor so that the minimal sanction for the lowest-level violations related to alcohol might be a more severe one than what we now have in place,” –Collegian
(talking about cracking down harder on alcohol infractions)

According to a national survey on college drinking, more than 40 percent of today's college students engage in binge drinking. Twenty percent of students binge drink three or more times in a given two-week period. More than half of students who use alcohol said they drink to get drunk.- http://president.psu.edu/testimony/articles/underage.html
(from the president of PSU talking about students drinking)

An Alcohol Intervention Program, delivered by peer counselors and an addiction specialist from our counseling center, is the first line of education and treatment for those referred for violations of liquor laws on- and off-campus. Last year, nearly 900 students were referred to the program.- http://president.psu.edu/testimony/articles/underage.html
(from the president of PSU talking about the program students were referred to)

Future Areas To Investigate:

After seeing a few of the ways residents disguise and hide their alcohol in their dorm I would like to investigate other ways in which they get around the no drinking in the dorms.

I would also like to see if its common for students to get caught drinking in the dorms.

# 1 Party School (Blog 4)

In many colleges today drinking is a problem ,but also a big part of college life. The large amount of drinking taking place directly correlates to the amount of partying going on at every college. With my fellow colleagues and I, attending a very large party school we see this all around us and it has become a part of our own lives even if we do not drink ourselves. In fact Penn State made it to number one and this caused a great amount of controversy. This controversy came from parents giving second thought to having their kids attend this fine establishment, all the way to the old alumni being partially proud of this “accomplishment”.
This controversy even caused multiple reporters to interview all types of people up at our great campus about the problem of this binge drinking and partying. They saw great opportunity to get this interview due to the popularity of the incidence of being the number one party school. Even the president of Penn State was quoted on what he thought about the whole thing. Although the way he put it, it wasn’t that negative of a placement to be number one party school because he does not want the college experience to be dull, but he wished they were not number one.
After starting to do the interviews and the reporting they saw very common things up here at State college such as public urination, throwing trash, and stealing (even stop signs). After seeing some of these incidents the culprits were then quoted on what they have done or seen and everyone said it is quite common. Besides these incidents they interviews a wide range of residents from family home in State, to the freshmen in the dorms, to the fraternity brothers, as well as a range of grades of students.
They found out shortly after that even people no longer involved with Penn State directly are still part of the problem of drinking and partying largely due to the massive pride in the football team. Having the largest stadium in the US is quite the icon for the tailgaters to cheer for their Lions. Alumni coming back had their judgment recorded on the issue saying that if drinking is banned they would be upset and possibly even stop the funding that they still give to Penn State.
Everyone created their own opinion about Penn State being number one in partying and placed more judgment after hearing this investigative report. From what I have seen up here thus far, I think it represents the school fairly closely, with the exception of stealing signs (I still have not seen this). Personally I liked the stories that were being recorded and thought they were comical because they were the truth. I think that just a few interviews would have sufficed for the actual report because hearing a great deal of them gets just a little dull. If they had more stories rather than interviews I think it might have been more powerful and yet much more entertaining. This report was still very enlightening to the public about how it seems drinking and partying is just a normal part of college life.

Blog 3

Every writer starts writing with a first draft, either after brainstorming or an outline, but they always put all their ideas together on paper in the form of a first draft. Even instances where writing is not the first draft, such as when reporters record still count as a first draft. They think about their ideas after listening to it and then plot them down for whoever they are reporting to whether it is a paper, magazine, or even the news. In the reading she tells how all first drafts are not done well and although this is bad this is how you can change your ideas and make it better for the second draft. This relates to my own writing exactly because my first draft had a great deal of mistakes even in the first paragraph. This reading made me realize not to fret about this because it is a quite normal thing. I used to get upset when I got my paper picked apart for the first draft and would sometimes even just give up. This was perhaps because when I was younger we would get graded on our first draft as well and since I am not very good at grammar this would lower my grade and I would get very upset. Now since I have a professional writer telling me it is a quite normal thing I will use the criticism and corrections to help me more that get me down in this paper and even papers to come.
Although it is normal I did not accept this normalcy and edited my paper. I went through the paper crossing things out left and right, re-writing sentences, and changing ideas as Miss Lamott did in her piece of writing. After editing the paper myself I felt better about the paper but I felt that it could still use some work. To fix this, I had a peer review my paper which improved it even more. Both of these combined efforts improved my paper a great deal. Following this I took the peer criticism on the separate sheet for peer review and did even more work on my paper. First, I made the flow from paragraph to paragraph much better through transitions. Then, I concentrated on making my paper much stronger by adding new ideas, and also backed up my ideas already stated within my paper. Also I decided to put more sensory imagery so the reader could feel more in the moment then it recently was. With the sensory imagery part I decided to use comparisons to make visuals even that much easier. After reading this I believe I will become a much better writer because I know now not to get down on myself about problem with the first draft.

Blog 1

Throughout my life I have acquired common, as well as precise, social skills that overtime have been developed into my writing and rhetorical skills. Many things have molded them including television shows, Facebook, texting, media, as well as everyday life. As with every living being I have my strengths and weaknesses, and have proved more strengths then weaknesses by getting to the point I am in my life. Some of the strengths I have include: taking facts from research to make my point more powerful, as well as having a knack for persuasion. These are both things I excel in due to the usage of them in my everyday life. For instance, I am always trying to convince my friends to do or not do certain things and also always doing research whether it is for science or simply to figure out how to do something. One of my strengths, persuasion, relates to one of my favorite movies Inception, which the whole movie was based on convincing others to do things. Inception, although some things were unrealistic, helped me understand more of the psychological component of convincing people ideas through emotion. On the other hand my weaknesses include my grammatical errors and a rather minute vocabulary compared to some. Both of these things I would like to improve because I think it will help me greatly in the world to better back my point, or opinion. There are many ways I can improve my writing, including but not limited to; all of my daily conversations, texting, the internet, and most importantly this class. My daily life will help me improve because I am a very friendly and outgoing person and communicating is a great way to find out new words. Blogging can even help me by just reading some of the quotes people post and seeing how things are punctuated and also the different styles that people use to write. I think this class would help me the most out of all because it is an English class and although I am very lazy, I like to succeed. So if I am required to work and write papers I will and with time I believe my grammar and vocabulary will improve through peer review and constructive criticism. Although I may get down on myself a little now since I am not the best of writers I can just remember not to give up like one of my favorite songs, which is “Till I Collapse”, by my favorite music artist, Eminem. I can’t wait to see how my writing skills develop throughout this upcoming semester, with all of the different types of writing we will have to do, as well as writing in our personal journal. Hopefully my goals to become a much better writer will be achieved so it can help me move forward. I have many challenges left to overcome to get to my final goal of being an Orthodontist with my own practice and improved writing will help me get there.

"My Addicted Son" Analysis

In our world today there are many things malevolent that go on, such as: robberies, gangs, violence, and even drug abuse. In an ever changing world all these things seem just to be getting worse and worse as time goes on. So, in relation to Sheff's memior for The New York Times Magazine, what he states is fact and not just a made up story. Although the story is personal and about his son almost all of the readers can feel his pain brought by his son's drug addiction. This is true due to actual experience with oneself, someone close, or even the dramatic stories we hear or see in everyday life. It seems that Sheff is trying to reach out to the broad category of people who will read his article, through the story of his son to better inform us about the dangers of drugs. From this it helps forewarn many people not to turn to this path and, if already against it, help others steer clear from that path.

Not only is he warning us about the dangers of drug use but, I also believe that he is trying to let us know what the victim and people close to the victim go through. He also tells us what can be done to help the victim, which is sometimes very limited, as shown in the article. Next he, informs us to realize what hardships the victim must go through while recovering. In my opinion I believe the author to be using a Pathos and Logos appeal to get the message to the audience. Ethos, by demonstrating the emotions he must be feeling to the audience through his hardships and using a Logos appeal through the facts he brings to the table about the low success rates of recovering and rehabilitation centers rates.

From this essay I think I will use some of the same rhetorical approaches that Sheff used, just for different topics. One thing that I will try to use is the Ethos appeal, because my audience is people who have gone through the same thing while he could not due to the audience of his memoir being so broad. I will definitely be using the two most successful appeals in my mind, which are Pathos and Logos because, I think that playing with someone’s emotions or showing data can help someone better understand where someone is coming from or better understand their ideas.
